Oh my goodness, you girls are hillarious. Brought me much needed smiles and laughter.

Emma - apart from DH no one IRL knows about my IVF journey. I decided that this journey was hard enough that I couldn't cope with everyone else getting invested in my cycles, asking lots of questions or getting upset when another cycle failed. It's hard enough for me and DH to deal with together. I didn't need anymore pressure. Il know that others feel differently and have found real support in their friends and family. So I guess it's each to their own.

But yes this journey can be extremely lonely sometimes. Particularly when other friends and family are having incredibly different experiences of life, family and fertility. This thread and these girls here are my source of sanity. I couldn't get through this all sometimes without them. Everyone here just gets it. Understands what is like to have ssuch invasice procedures so frequently, to experience the highs of hopes, and the lows of devastation.

Joeve - as for CM - I have no idea. I've never properly monitored changes etc. For me this journey seems more about what science can do for me rather than what my body can do for itself (seeing as my body seems to suck at this whole fertility thing - hehehe).
